The book also has poor illustrations and confusing graphs. <br /> <br />The book has paragraph headings but after reading the entire paragraph 3 or 4 times I find it difficult to write in words what the paragraph title actually means. There are no bold terms or summarized definitions on the side margins which makes studying nearly impossible. For the amount of math in the book the authors also do a poor job explaining how to work the problems and show little work.

I was very happy about the quick shipping and the condition they described the book to be in was right on. No surprises which is a good thing.
